Read the link I posted.

Or I feel like I'm in the mood to procrastinate and spoon feed people so here it goes.

General consensus is that if you do a lot of freeway driving or like most people who daily their car 90% of it is on public roads never approaching the limits of traction that increasing camber much past -2.0 degrees will create noticeable inner shoulder wear. It may be noticeable even completely stock that the minimal camber already part of the car wears out the inner shoulder of the tire first. But if it's a weekend car that sees mostly hard driving you will actually improve tire wear as stock geometry will wear the outer shoulder of the tire.

You won't get that much camber with just bolts imo, but it's why I prefaced my suggestion about the car being driven hard. We're not talking about 'oh my tires only last 6 months now' we're talking about like a 5% or 10% decrease in tire life with reasonable amounts of camber (<-2.0).
